I may not be the best person to comment due to limited experience with my T3
but I will anyway.  My Fasty is all original w/ 130k miles and new Gas
Shocks, put simply, she handles and corners noticeably better than my stock
Ghia did w/ a wheel tire combo similar to what you indicate you have.

That said, many will comment w/ much heated debate on the "a lowered car
handles no better than a stock height one" having had both and using the
highly technical and minutely calibrated "butt dyno" I feel like handling
and cornering is much more precise with SLIGHT lowering.  You may very well
feel MORE performance from Nadine if you return the rear to stock and have
the front no lower than 1"-2" dropped.  Your ride and probably performance
surely suffered from being too low?!

Just my thoughts and opinions
